Microwave repair in NoDa and Plaza Midwood

With limited counter space in mill cottages and bungalows, an over-the-range microwave is a natural choice. It handles venting for the stove as well, so its fan, lights and filters wear from heat and grease. Grease filters that are never cleaned make the fan noisy and weak. Door switches fail with heavy use and can stop the unit from starting.

Renovations sometimes put a microwave on a shared kitchen circuit along with other appliances, and running several at once can trip a breaker. In that case, the microwave is not the problem; the circuit is. We will tell you when a dedicated outlet would solve it, since that work belongs to an electrician.

In newer townhomes, built-in microwaves with trim kits are more common, and storm surges can affect their controls. Reset the breaker, clean the filters and never open the unit, since it stores high voltage. The technician tests switches, fuses, the magnetron and controls and explains the repair and price.
